Launch Party

(1). An event that coincides with the launch of a particular product or service. While usually occurring weeks, if not months after said launch, it is a great reason to get drunk on the company’s dime and prepare for the inevitable downsizing of the development team.

“Hey everyone, we are having the launch party at Jamesons on 2nd. Mark, Joel and Melissa you guys should totally come! You were crucial to the development and it would be a great networking opportunity for all of you.”

(1). An unnecessary (but sonecessary) document a company uses to tout previous accomplishments and put stars in the eyes on new prospects so that they hire them. Usually they are only created around well-known brands, because nobody cares that you helped that company down the hall do great…what do those guys do again? Something with David Bowie memorabilia right?

“We’d like to show you acase study that we did for a company that sells David Bowie memorabilia. Wait a minute, Mike! I told you to make a case study for the Chloé site, not the David Bowie site! When we get back to the office we’re gonna be making some ch ch ch changes!”

“So, once you hit ‘Submit’, the payment and shipping orders should all process on a pass-through basis. The only caveat is that Marvin over there is going to have to push the payment and shipping orders to the vendors. So, I guess it’s more like a ‘pass-through-Marvin basis’. Sorry, Marvin.”
